Chapter 250: Method of Becoming a God, End of Retreat

"I really didn't expect you to do such a crazy thing."

In the Hex communicator, Azir shook his head. A hint of helplessness flashed through his eagle eyes. He touched his face with his sharp fingers, looked at Rowan and continued: "You are not afraid of those things." Can’t the door to the plane realm be closed?”

Azir continued: "Icathia used to be like this. In order to resist Shurima, ancient Icathia found a way to open the void passage. They thought they had found a helping hand and could use powerful beings from the outside world to resist Shurima. But the consequence is that the moment the void descends on Icasia, Icacia will be destroyed. Are you not afraid that you will do the same thing as the Icacia mages? "

Rowan leaned back and said with a smile: "That's different."

"Whether it is the underworld, the demon world, or other plane worlds, they are all based on a line on the many planes of Rune Land. These worlds are essentially connected to Rune Land, just like the material plane and the The relationship between the spiritual planes is complementary to each other. If Runeterra disappears, then there will be no need for the existence of the underworld and the demon world. "

Rowan believes this very much. This is his own experience over the years.

The demons have also proved this point. Demons are born from the desires of the creatures in Runeterra. But if there are no creatures and no desires in Runeterra, then what awaits the demons will be their slow demise and no more desires. As food, the demons will slowly starve to death.

The same is true for the dead native creatures in the underworld. Without the material plane, the life force provided by Rune Land, and the natural death and reincarnation of living creatures, what awaits the underworld creatures who have lost their "underworld energy" next? It will only die naturally.

This is the law of this planet, and the world planes created on this planet cannot escape this law.

Countless years after the natural demise of demons and undead, a new batch of creatures will be born in Runeterra. They will accept death and reincarnation, and new desires will be born. Then, the demons and undead will appear. .

Therefore, whether it is demons or Mordekaiser, they will not really destroy Runeterra, but control it.

The gate to the underworld and the gate to the demon world will not be said to be unable to be closed once opened. Otherwise, what is the function of the key? If you can open the door at will, why do you need a key?

After listening to Rowan's words, Azir snorted lightly and said without comment: "Just use your own discretion."

"Speaking of Azir, I have a question to ask you."

"Um?"

"Do you know how to break through to the demigod realm?" Rowan said.

Azir was suddenly stunned, and a thoughtful expression appeared in his eagle eyes. After a moment, he said, "I can't answer this question for you."

"The power of the ascended does not come from Runeterra. We essentially use the energy of the heavens. Every ascended person can become a demigod using the power of the sun." Azir shook his head and continued. : "What's more, in the history of Shurima's founding, except for Queen Setaka, no warrior has broken through to the demigod state with his own strength."

"Can humans really become gods?" Azir asked Rowan a question. He looked at Rowan seriously and said, "Rowan, you know as much as I do, but please search yourself In your memory, have you ever heard of humans becoming demigods by their own strength?”

Rowan pondered for a moment and then said, "Wait a minute, do the three ice sisters count?"

"Oh, Avarosa, Serelda, Lissandra, you gave a good example. They are known as the ancestors of mankind. Even if they are not the first batch of human beings born, they are the first batch of leaders. Humanity survives, resists powerful forces, and builds a nation.”

Azir burst out laughing. Even he had to admit that in a sense, he was a descendant of the three ice sisters.

Whether it is Shurima or Ionia, these two country city-states with ancient histories all admit one thing, that is, their ancestors came from Freljord.

"But their situation is special. In a sense, they are no longer human beings. They became gods through faith, luck, and the help of Anivia, and then they became demigods." Aziz I shook my head.

"The situation of the three Ice Sisters is the same as that of Janna in Zuan now. When human beings' faith reaches a certain level and millions of people believe in it at the same time, the huge faith will be transformed into spiritual power. This Strength changes the body."

"So the example you gave is wrong."

"That's really gone, but Azir, you said that Queen Setaka had used her own ability to break through to the demigod realm. Is this true?" Rowan asked Azir curiously.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, there should be some people who can become gods through human power, but can mages be counted among them?

For Rowan, Ryze can become a god through human power, but Ryze's situation is very special, because although he possesses incredible magic power and extraordinary wisdom, his body only exists side by side with the extraordinary.

And the so-called demigod refers to someone who has reached the level of demigod in body and strength. What about Ryze?

He is just a human being. Unlike Lissandra, he needs to eat, sleep, and drink water.

It can be seen from Ryze's personal story that in the desert, he would drink water to escape the heat, and in the cold, he would light a fire to warm himself. He is indeed the only arcane mage in Runeterra, but he is also a human being, and he is not god.

Because of this, Rowan didn’t tell Azir about Ryze.

Rowan knows that Setaka is strong. Anyone who knows a bit about the background story and likes to read stories about Darkin and the Void will know how strong Setaka is.

Queen Setaka, the first Ascended One, was also probably the founding emperor of Shurima.

This woman was recognized by the gods as a mortal, but now according to Azir, Setaka already had the combat power of a demigod before he obtained the power of the sun and built the sun disk?

Is this possible?

Rowan became curious.

Azir nodded and said: "If you know me well, you will know that when I was young, I was not a favored prince. In order to relieve loneliness, I like to spend time in the royal library since I was a child. There are all kinds of books in there, and I've read the history of Shurima's founding."

"If nothing else, my ancestor Setaka already had the ability to communicate with heaven and earth before she became an ascended person. Because of this, she was recognized by the power of the sun, and she also used this The power created the Sun Disk. Since then, Nerima Jie has had a sun that never sets. The first emperor also relied on the Sun Disk to recruit warriors and established an Ascended Army. The powerful Ascended people guarded the Queen. To expand its territory.”

"And the sun disk I built now is just a poor imitation of my ancestors." Azir said calmly.

Rowan became silent after hearing this.

Azir continued: "So if you want to become a demigod, I think there are only a few ways."

"One, come to Shurima and join me. I will use the Sun Disk to make you an Ascended One. You already have strength beyond ordinary demigods. After becoming an Ascended One and gaining the power of the sun, you will definitely become Stronger, I admit that I do want you. I envy Jarvan III for having a talent like you. Your future limit is immeasurable and your value is unparalleled. But I assure you that after you become an Ascendant, there will be no relationship between you and me. Lord, but friend, I will not bind you to Shurima."

Rowan immediately laughed, shook his head, and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Azir, but I didn't want to turn into an animal."

"You may not necessarily turn into an animal. The Ascended Ones of your ancestors were in human form, and you may also become an Ascended One in human form. Of course, I can't guarantee that." Azir said.

After all, even Aatrox, a warrior who had the power to kill gods when he was a mortal, turned into a weasel after becoming an Ascendant.

So Azir didn't dare to make a guarantee.

Seeing Rowan shaking his head again, Azir didn't hesitate. He continued, "The second way is to become the god of Demacia and use the power of human faith to bless you and make you Become a spiritual being like Janna, and you will become the god of Runeterra."

"Wait a minute, Azir, this way of becoming a god is not what I want. I don't want to be restricted. If I become a god of faith, there will be too many restrictions." Rowan immediately rejected it.

He doesn't want to be like Janna, chasing human wishes every day. You must know that when Janna is sleeping, there will be countless human voices in her mind, and her believers will send pious voices, but... this is not Luo Wen wanted.

What's more, although belief in a god is powerful, as long as there are enough believers, it can continue to become stronger, and as long as there is one believer, it will not dissipate and die.

However, this strong advantage is also a weakness.

If the power of faith decreases and there are fewer believers, it will become weaker. When Janna was at her weakest, she could hardly even fly. And if Rowan became the God of Faith, he would really have to meet the true god level. If it exists, it will disappear in a minute.

Therefore, it is very convenient and powerful to believe in becoming a god, but it is definitely not what Rowan wants.

Seeing this, Azir took a deep breath, looked at Rowan and said solemnly: "In this case, there is only one last way left."

"Luo Wen, the gods of Rune Land are divided into local gods and foreign gods. For example, we ascended ones are essentially foreign gods. Although we have powerful power, we cannot communicate with the consciousness of Rune Land like the local gods. , using the power of this planet. As for the local gods of Rune Land, excluding those who believe in becoming gods and some accidental examples, these local gods all obtained the godhood of Rune Land at the beginning of their birth. "

"The power used by us Ascended Ones is the power of the sun. Whether it is enlargement or shrinking, no matter it is a strange ability, it is the sun of communication. Even now that Shurima has a sun disk, the same is true for Ascending Ones. They are all the power of the sun, so if you want to become a god and don’t want to accept the first two methods, then this is the only way.”

Azir's eyes were sharp and he said in a deep voice: "Leave Runeterra, go to the heaven, and find a way to become a god in the heaven."

"."

Rowan was silent.

Azir then said, "Or, you can ask more gods. And what I know is limited. What I say may not be correct. You can ask your demigod friends."

Time passes, and everything in Rune Terra is operating in an orderly manner.

Freljord, Ashe and Sejuani's tribes have joined the Alliance, and Avarosa and Winter's Claw have also received help from the Alliance. Avarosa has started planting. The technology of the Twin Cities and the farming technology of Gardemacia allow Avarosa to farm in the ice and snow.

Winter's Claw chose nomadism, because Sejuani still maintains her wild beliefs. She does not want to die comfortably in one place, trapped next to the farmland, and live a life of sunrise and sunset.

But because of this, the products that Avarosa and Winter's Claw give back to the Alliance are different.

Avarosa will give back to the Alliance with seafood and special fruits of Freljord, while Winter's Claw will give back to the Alliance with iron ore and meat of various beasts.

Of course, these are the most attractive places in Freljord. If you want to attract people, it has to be the special natural scenery of Freljord. The development of tourism in this place is the best, and tourism can also drive the local industry of Freljord.

Because it can attract merchants from all over the world.

Let's put it this way. Just the cute little Poro is deeply loved by the rich people in the Alliance. The nobles of Demacia now also keep a Poro as a pet. These little guys are extremely intelligent. Not only can they provide emotional value as pets, but if they are well cultivated, they can even do the work of servants.

I heard that there are shops focusing on Poro in Piltover now, specializing in cultivating special Poros. These Poros can be housekeepers, chefs, and tea masters. As long as you give a bunch of gold coins and sign a guarantee not to harm Poros, you can buy them.

In short, everything in Freljord is getting better.

The same is true for Noxus. The country is now completely quiet and has begun to recuperate.

The early wars made Noxus poor, but fortunately, Noxus has a vast territory, and it is not difficult to catch up now. After all, many countries in Valoran were destroyed by Noxus.

Ionia did not join the Alliance, so Demacia did not know the local situation.

Bilgewater. Ha, Miss Sarah is very business-minded. This maritime city-state has also developed rapidly. What's interesting is that I don't know if it's because Nyla appeared in Bilgewater some time ago. The Baru people have been very honest recently. Maybe the bearded lady issued a new oracle?

In Shurima, the local people still did not accept Azir's rule. They were afraid of the Eagle Father. Therefore, Azir still bore the title of tyrant, but Azir was not in a hurry. Instead, he searched for the traces of Xerath while slowly consolidating his royal power.

It was also on such a day that it came to June of 992.

At six o'clock in the morning, at the gate of the War College.

Two sneaky figures, one blonde and one black-haired, carrying bags, the backpacks were particularly large, and it looked like there were a lot of things. They were talking and laughing and playing as they walked out of the gate of the War College.

"You really don't plan to fly?"

"Of course, what, do you regret it, Lux?"

"No, Rowan, this is exactly what I want! If you fly, you will forget the scenery you see in a blink of an eye. For adventures, of course, it is best to rely on your own feet!"

"But, Rowan, is it really okay for us not to tell them about our trip this time? I always feel that this is inappropriate."

"Then you go back?"

"."

"Rowen, seriously, do you think I am a trouble? Tell the truth, do you just don't want to take me out to play?"

"Hey, hey, hey, Lux, I've said it, I'm going out to visit friends and take a look at this world. I'm preparing for a breakthrough, not to play!"

"Haha, visiting friends, traveling, what else can this be?"

"Forget it. I can't make sense with you. Let's go. The first stop. Well, let's go to Mount Targon. I just have some questions to ask Soraka."

"Are you really going there?" The beautiful blonde blinked.

"What else?"

"Ah!" The beautiful girl groaned, and jumped up after a run-up.

"Hey, get off! Lux, you just said you'd rely on your own feet!"

"No, I'll be exhausted if I walk to Targon Peak! I don't care, you have to carry me!"

"Kissed and touched, you took advantage of everything, humph, you want me to walk by myself? No way~"

"I surrender to you, haha."

The air was moist and a little cold, and the two figures overlapped and walked towards the south of Demacia.

Rowen

The retreat was over. After half a year, all the experience points were used up, and Rowan had touched the door of the realm level.

But Rowan couldn't push open that door.

He asked Lissandra, but Lissandra's answer was that she couldn't do it either, and said that Azir was right. The godhood of Runeland was limited. Rowan was not an original god, nor a planetary consciousness, so those were the only ways to become a god.

Well, Lissandra finally knew that Rowan was not the planetary consciousness, otherwise, how could Rowan be stuck?

There is only a membrane between the rule level and the domain level, but this membrane has blocked countless existences.

After being confused for a few days, Rowan immediately made up his mind.

In this case, let's go out and take a look.

After all, his method of breakthrough has always been different from others, and the same is true when he breaks through the rule level.

Practicing is not just about staying at home all the time. If you can't break through with the experience points given by the system, then go out and find a way yourself.

If you really can't find a way to break through in Runeland, then Rowan will go to the heaven.

Time is running out, but it's not short, right?

It just so happens that

Rowan owes Lux a lot~

He has tied Lux ​​to the War Academy and made her the "Principal" for several years. Little La has long been unhappy.

And now, Rowan is taking Lux with him to travel all over Runeland.

I don't know how long it will take, but even if Rowan and Lux ​​disappear for a few years, I think Runeland will not have any problems in the short term.

After all, troubles have been suppressed for a long time!
